Raging Blues

About This Movie

Raging Blues is a curious little piece from 2008, tucked away with the Persepolis DVD. It’s animated, for sure, but there’s a rawness in its style that feels different. The pacing is quick, almost frenetic, which contrasts nicely with the weight of its themes—loss and resilience. The colors are bold and somewhat jarring, really driving home the emotional depth. While the director remains shrouded in mystery, the animation carries a certain grit; it feels personal, almost like a sketchbook coming to life. It’s not your typical animated short, and that’s what makes it stand out; it lingers in your mind long after the credits roll, a vivid reminder of the struggles it portrays.
